It is kind of hard to explain but here we go: I cut out a front of the sewing machine shape out of cardboard (I cut two out) then I cut out a few long strips of cardboard and kind of taped them to the front to be the sides. And then taped the other front side on top to make a box type thing, After that I painted it white and glued a tiny piece of led to be the needle! (Hope that wasn't to confusing)-elly :)
